Obama: Republicans Wasted 'Precious Days' On Boehner Debt Ceiling Plan

Harry Reid's plan has more than $2.5 TRILLION in cuts that include programs that the poor and middle class rely on.  

Raising the debt ceiling has to be untangled from a budget.  If it takes Obama utilizing the 14th amendment solution, so be it, because the most BS argument to date has been that "the cuts and the pain must be shared by all".

It presumes that the poor and the middle classes haven't born the brunt of what Republican­s and Democrats of the past 30 years have done.  

It presumes that the pain of losing a few million dollars when you have hundreds of millions, even billions, is equivalent to the pain of not knowing where your next meal is coming from, or losing the roof over your head and sleeping in your car or on the street.  It presumes that the rich have sacrificed anything at all, when, in fact, they're making money hand-over-­fist!

What's happened to the American people was the greatest heist in the history of the world (2007, the economic meltdown) ON TOP OF a longer term and steady rip-off of Americans' self-inves­ted retirement and medical programs (Social Security and Medicare) the past 40 years which has been used to fund wars, corporate pork and corporate welfare that directly benefitted the rich class over everyone else.   

Where are the investigat­ions, prosecutio­ns and restitutio­n?  

There really is no going forward until we look back.
